Abstract
This note concerns the category of cartesian cubes with connections, equivalently the full subcategory of posets on objects with . We show that the idempotent completion of consists of finite complete posets. It follows that cubical sets, ie presheaves over , are equivalent to presheaves over finite complete posets. This yields an alternative exposition of a result by Kapulkin and Voevodsky that simplicial sets form a subtopos of cubical sets.
